Ultima's are Johnson's, I have tortured Ultima's with a 590 lift Woods square lobed cam and comes back for more. Don't know if China is envolved but a great $99 purchase compared to the collapsed Harley "B's" in the cabinet

Im doing a mild top end rebuild on a 90 FLT Evo including a cam change to a Andews EV-27 and have noticed that parts4powertoys offers a standard lifter set part# V-2303 and a more robust set for use with a stronger cam part# V-2303S .
Would i be better off purchasing the heavy duty set or is not suitable for my application .?

Get the forged ones, I used them with an EV27 with no worries.
